What is
“literary pulp fiction”?
Stephen King’s It, M. Night Shyamalan’s The Sixth Sense, and The Lord of the Rings, to name a few.
“Literary pulp fiction” is speculative fiction that digs deep into human emotion, that isn’t afraid to talk about real issues, and that reads smooth as butter.
I’m Noah J. Matthews, and I write genre-mashing stories that dig deep—into my heart, and into the American culture that shapes us.
Enter a world of pulp fiction that’s as deep as it is cool.
Outlaw Blood available worldwide!
Clye Galler is the last of his outlaw gang. Or so he thinks.
On the run from the law and the guilt that haunts him, Clye sets out to redeem his sullied name.
Turned loose with a posse of bounty hunters, Clye cuts a deal to capture his former blood brother in the Yeller gang. The lawmen want him alive for hanging–to satiate the town’s lust for blood.
Clye has enough skill with a pistol to make a lawman blush, enough power with sand to blind the keenest hawk, and a load of guilt heavy enough to sink a cathrahd to its knees.
In a western sandscape where honor’s everything, Clye is pitted against a conquering gang that has mercy only on those willing to give a finger in sacrifice.
In his stunning debut book, Noah J. Matthews conjures up the depth and grit of Cormac McCarthy, the fluid prose of C.S. Lewis, and the imagination of Neil Gaiman.
They say the blood of an outlaw ain’t worth a pint of milk.
Clye’s bartered with a lot of things in his life–never with his blood.
Yet.

Genre fiction—pulp fiction—has been “shallow” for too long. And we’ve had enough!
I won’t stand for flaky prose and shallow characters in my books, and neither will you.
You came for pulp fiction with heart?
We’re servin’ it bloody and still-beating, baby.

Why you SHOULD watch The Odyssey…
Last week, I watched Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. Twice! Once in a regular theater, and once in IMAX. I have few thoughts or words that articulate the feeling this movie produced in me. It felt like watching history unfold. It felt like coming home after months...
I LOVE Playing Cards
I love playing cards. Some of my core memories are playing Euchre with my dad and brothers, laughing and table-talking the whole way through. We had a couple old decks of cards, but I remember there was one in particular we always used for manly games of Euchre. The...
